Importance The article deals with the problem of transforming the socio-economic model of Russia as the Asia-oriented vector of development becomes an alternative to the Western Europe-oriented one, given the adverse demographic trends in the country, especially in the Far Eastern Federal District.
Objectives The article aims to identify features of the demographic situation in the Far East of Russia, namely the Far Eastern Federal District, to justify recommendations aimed at optimizing the socio-economic and demographic processes interrelated.
Methods For the study, I used common and private methods of research, such as analysis, synthesis, deduction, induction, statistical analysis of the demographic situation, economic evaluation, retrospective and prospective studies.
Results The article identifies the main causes and consequences of the demographic situation in the Far East of Russia, which must be taken into account in the formulation of regional socio-economic policies. I found that the demographic situation is characterized by negative trends, and the main cause of this phenomenon is the migration of the population that is increasingly destabilizing the situation in the region than negative population growth.
Conclusions Now, it is possible to optimize the demographic processes in the Far East of Russia through elaborating a strategic development outline, taking into account the region's role in the national and world order, while the resource factor of socio-economic development of the region should not be the determining one in this respect.
